A netizen shared this amusing appeal to kind hearted Singaporeans working at Pasir Laba Camp. Any body kind enough to give them a hitch home?

I am very pissed with Grab especially their grabhitch services. There was a train service disruption yesterday and I was stranded for close to an hour an a half reaso being is that grab and uber have got high surge!

Grabhitch and RYDE drivers are cheapskate drivers which is why they need to do all these to either make profit or cover cost of their cars so there is no reason for them to be calling passengers cheapskates too just because passengers use it to avoid surge, if they have the ability then please, maintain the car on their own!

I was so tired after a long day at work wanting to head home, then there comes an MRT disruption. The whole place was in chaos. So decided to book grab, I was shocked to see grab's fare from Jurong East to Woodlands was a whopping $55!

Our reader dissuades people from taking Grabhitch as she claims that it does not screen or train its drivers properly. This means that anybody regardless of their behaviour can drive Grabhitch and RYDE. "I took Grabhitch once and that's my last ride ever, not only the driver came to pick me up with a different car, but he is a pervert and keep on asking me and talk big about disgusting stuff and even attempted to touch me! I have made a police report about such unruly behaviour and now nothing gets done yet. So I would suggest all to stop riding on Grabhitch, drivers who are not trained shouldn't be out there even hitching passengers! Please avoid at all cost, it not worth the 50% lower fares with all these problems and risk one have to take."

Dear Editors, I am seriously losing my patience and temper with how transport providers treat us customers during Qing Ming periods! 1. Want go to the cemetery to pray our ancestors, tried booking through Comfort app, GrabTaxi and GrabCar, put the address of the cementry and nobody wanted to accept …

LTA should either ban or restrict to two hitched rides that both passengers and drivers can take per day. Reason being, Grabhitch and RYDE are rode hitching apps where people can hitch onto a driver's car along the way but this flaw has caused drivers to accept unlimited hitched jobs per day.

Since LTA now require private car drivers to take up taxi driver vocational license, it should also reform existing taxi industry to optimize the customer experience for all commuters. Those who those take taxi at peak hour will know, many taxi drivers like to put change shift, tell you they only go certain area etc. So LTA should set a rule, if a driver is not willing to drive a customer to a destination, he should always put busy sign and directly proceed to change shift. He should not stop and then reject the commuter. Commuters who see a taxi driver reject them, can take a photo of the cab and its license plate and send to LTA.
